But libraries aren´t dying! The funding for them is dying. Over 2 million items checked out from our local libraries last year and over 900,000 people visited the libraries. I think printed books do matter to kids. My 8 year old son has a pile of about 30 books next to his bed that he reads over and over again. For him iPad=Plants vs. Zombie but stories come from printed books. Feb 07, 2013 | Reply to this comment
